My baby’s father is not understanding about my frequent urination during pregnancy. If we’re out and there’s no bathroom in sight, he doesn’t have the sense of urgency to get me to a bathroom ASAP. He’ll tell me to hold it, until. If I drink a lot of water, I’ll need to pee atleast 3 times in the space of 20-30 mins. He sees that as a problem & thinks I’m “over doing it”. How can I get him to understand thats it’s not me but it’s the pregnancy.

Make him read this! Sir, pregnant women have to pee a lot more then non pregnant women!! And when we say we have to go to the bathroom now....that means NOW!! It’s not a made up symptom it’s for real. Not to mention that when we are pregnant we are prone to infections so telling us to hold it is just asking for trouble!!

Haha!!! I would do this! But seriously you can probably find articles online as to the reasons for peeing more 1. You Have to drink more water 2. The weight on your bladder makes the feeling of urgency stronger (holding it not an option) 3. If you don’t you leave yourself at risk of UTI.

have him talk to your ob. As we get closer to that 40 weeks even holding it till you get say on the toilet can be a problem... as any mother who's dealt with pregnancy before can tell you when baby kicks your bladder just right even if your heading to the bathroom it could be enough of a kick to make you pee yourself... so no holding isn't an option. let's not forget the uti risk....

side note ask him how he feels when he really has to go first thing in the morning and "can't wait".... then kindly tell him nope your holding it.
